Abstract
An induction heating device includes a case, working coils, a cover plate coupled to the case, an input interface buried into the cover plate and configured to receive a touch input from a user, a first control module configured to sense which working coil has an object to be heated, and a second control module configured to receive position information of the object from the first control module and the touch input from the input interface and to control a specific image displayed on the input interface based on the position information or the touch input. Based on the touch input indicating a small object, the second control module controls the input interface to display an image for guiding an optimal heating position of the small object in one area of the input interface, which does not overlap with the position of the object.
